. “As a result, at this time, we are not accepting applications. We are seeking to overturn those orders.”plans to forgive up to $20,000 in federal student loan debt for individuals with incomes below $125,000 or households earning less than $250,000. The White House has estimated that more than 40 million people could qualify.
Already, about 26 million people have applied, and 16 million applications have been approved. However, because of court rulings, none of the relief has actually gone out. The Department of Education would “quickly process their relief once we prevail in court,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman in Texas ruled Thursday that Biden had overstepped his authority in creating the debt relief program without congressional approval.
“In this country, we are not ruled by an all-powerful executive with a pen and a phone. Instead, we are ruled by a Constitution that provides for three distinct and independent branches of government,” Pittman wrote.
It's nothing more then a scam to keep people voting for you.
The Biden administration says - to bad so sad, but you can’t take your vote back. They knew all along it wouldn’t work. Buying votes at its finest.
Lol. Who cares, the midterms are over, the doomed promise accomplished what it needed to.
Damn us Democratic voters got swindled for student debt relief just like the republicans and their dumb wall lol. I'm not voting Blue anymore, I'm not gonna reward incompetence and lies with my support. Stuffs a joke, just a different set of rich people getting richer.
Lol, Dems thought their party was actually doing something good for once, when in reality everything they do is illegal or unintentionally harmful. Get baited once, shame on them. Get baited scores of times, shame on you fools for trusting these incompetent clowns.
Well, wasn’t that convenient? Rolling out that big plan just before the mid-terms. Joe probably knew it would be stifled, but it made him look good for a little while.
So they forgive the billions of dollars of PPP loans but not student loans? This is why the Biden administration will win this case. It's pretty pathetic that there are people who don't want to see relief for others.
Extend the pause!
I don’t see any court orders to stop sending hundreds of millions in military aid to Ukraine! Who does the government work for?
How sad, pathetic judges and the mean nasty people who filed the lawsuit just don't want anyone to have a break.
Trying to use the “hero’s act” as justification for the executive branch overriding what the constitution delegates Congress to do was bullshit, anyway you look at it! This needed to go through congress… Nancy knew this, she’s said it publicly he couldn’t do this
Why the hate? You jumped at the trillion dollar tax break that only helped 1000 at best. This is help for predatory loans as we were just trying to have a better life and believed a degree would help , but it was a lie
REPUBLICANS AND THE FEDRALIST SOCIETY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR STOPPING AID TO 44 million Americans
Lmao 😂 keep voting blue folks, maybe they’ll follow through with this promise in another decade or two.
Sure he don't need your vote anymore so stop believing your sign up meant anything at all.
Student loan forgiveness is to good of a campaign issue to fix. They'll use it again next cycle
Would you want to pay for somebody else's college after you decided not to go?
Can they just keep going through judges til they find one that has a “loophole”
You liberal voters got duped again by your own party. Just a ploy to get you to vote dem. Always comes out after elections.
You might mention in the lede that GOP is blocking this. It’s not Joe’s fault that republicans won’t let Americans have anything good unless they’re billionaires.
I’m not worried. 💙💙💙
And here is your list of people not working n their chosen profession.
Nobody is talking abt how the lawsuit that drove this was bc 2 people who didn’t qualify felt it was unfair bc they wanted more loan forgiveness. 1 has private loans&doesn’t qualify for fed loan forgiveness & other wasn’t poor enough for Pell loans so qualifies for $10k not $20k
Hmphh… right after students came out in record numbers to vote for them.
Boy Biden’s sure quick to raise that 🏳
After election before elections lol..politricks
Worked as intended though - a ploy to buy Gen Z votes.
Maybe the Biden ministration should look at those applications and give relief to those who made good choices in their educational pursuit, or people the government sees as an investment. They are working in areas that country needs and benefits from.
The prg was totally illegal. B8den knew this but did it for the election. I hope Dems realize how bamboozled they were & how the sleazy Dems will do it again & again. That's just who they are: liars & cheaters.
He's not King Biden. Can't just say it and make it so. But frankly, it was never expected to happen. Just made the promise to buy D votes. It worked, and now the promise is dumped, as it always was going to be. Sad that Gen Z was so gullible, and the Ds were so craven.
Now that the votes are in we can renege on a promise used to buy those votes...perfect. 👌🏼
Seems like some countersuits are in order by people who have already had their debt relief accepted and by people now blocked from applying.
Such a dumb move by the GOP. Why no GOP court challenges with the PPP loan forgiveness? Hypocrites. This will only make young voters HATE them & REMEMBER it the next time they vote.
Just a con by Biden and democrats to trick you for your vote !
This is why legislating by EO is a roll of the dice. Student debt was killed by GOP judges. Student debt is Congress' problem to solve. So far Dems have done little w/ it in Congress. The GOP will never cancel student debt.
Lotta commies in here mad that other people's incomes won't subsidize their poor financial decisions.
It served it’s purpose. Move on, nothing to see here. 😂😂 news update: they lie like hell then laugh at you. 😂😂
Certainly Biden's lawyers advised him of this outcome.
Ah still giving hope to a hopeless situation. Stop lying to people it’s Not going to be appealed. Unconstitutional
dude,quit spending our money
There is no such thing as forgiveness....unless your mommy or daddy pays for it....leave taxpayers out of this....high schools need mandatory classes on consequences of loans/credit cards. College loans at 0% interest is the better option along with stats on salary per degrees
I don’t get why people wanted this so bad, all the people that need debt relief why would it be the ones whom voluntarily took debt be the ones to get bailed out…?
Is the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness debt relief program a scam to con young voters to vote Democrat? vote studentloanforgiveness
They knew this would happen, but they got your votes already so they’ll probably not push for this as hard
How sad. Now they have to pay for what they purchased. Too bad.
How American is this? 😂 Only American judges would seek to force people to stay in crippling, predatory debt. 😂
Biden knew this would happen. He was too scared to try to legally put it through Congress. His failed leadership is costing Dems again.
The Constitution prohibits the government from voiding contracts between consenting entities. Biden knowingly violated that provision and is unconscionable. Biden did it to sucker students to vote for Democrats. A pure threat to democracy.
who really controls the govt.?
Biden scammed the voters yet again lol
Joey knew it wouldn’t hold up. Just buying votes. Next, gas will begin to rise.
Everyone knows that he does not have the authority to do what he did. Big surprise they stopped applications AFTER the elections?
Que lamentable hay para armas pero no para esto.
Remember when Trump wanted $2,000 stimulus checks but haggled with congress? According to the Biden administration he could’ve just signed an executive order. Who needs congress? 😏
Biden is such a dictator.
Gen Z just got their first crash course in US politics. Never trust the career politician.
I didn't want it to begin with, I signed I'll pay
Suckers
Well it did work long enough for the 18-34 age group to vote blue….EXACTLY how Biden and democrats planned it. So gullible!!
Why did this court not have a problem with PPE loan forgiveness?
Personally, I have student debt, and it would be nice to get rid of it. But I know it’ll end up costing me twice as much, if not more, in increased taxes, less services, and increased prices.
Young people were lied to for the vote. Haha
They knew this was illegal and pushed it for midterm votes 🤡
That’s what happens when you try to push through an unconstitutional executive order just to manipulate people to vote Democrat on November 8.
